Rheology and microstructure

Rheology is the science of the flow/deformation behaviour of material and its internal structure (e.g. the orientation and elongation of polymer molecules or inserted particles) and of the flow/deformation behaviour of materials that cannot be described by classical fluid mechanics or elasticity.

We offer services to characterize the material used in various processes used e.g. in the plastics/polymer and food industries in such a way that the derived model can be used in simulation and optimization of these processes.
